School vs. Summer

i really don't mind school. i mind waking up but the school aspect isn't too bad. i enjoy learning and like my classes. i love messing around with my friends. liking school might also be attributed to me missing so much of it. last week i went to three WHOLE ENTIRE DAYS OF SCHOOL. everybody cheer.

i would honestly rather be here than at home! at home everyone yells at me, criticizes me and gives me the idea that i am, nor will i ever be, good enough. my friends like me!

i am excited for summer, don't get me wrong. i like that i will be able to be productive, wake up late, eat, swim, run. but i also hate the idea of spending entire days with my screaming, yelling, obnoxious family.

(ALSO, don't get me wrong about my family. we have fun together. but my parents are extraordinarily strict with us. and i get that they do it out of love...blah blah blah... but is it really necessary to be grounded if i miss a day of exercise? do they really have to have every single detail of what i will be doing every weekend?)

i wouldn't mind all the lawn mowing if we did late at night or early in the morning. but we never do it until like one or two. IN THE HOT SUN. that could certainly change now that i can drive the truck however...

i'm honestly just rambling. but i'm not like other kids. summer is not a relief for me. it's a challenge. i hate having a HUGE list of things i need to do before i can have fun. my mom tries to do fun things with us but honestly... we've been to the zoo, the swimming pool, this is the place, thanksgiving point, the park... and every other place of importance in Utah about a billion times. luckily i work all day on tuesdays and thursdays... that will be a relief. wish me luck. all my love,
grace.
